According to they are autófonos (by elasticity) and of membrane
This classic division is being replaced by one but clarified, in which they consider, in addition to the materials and forms to produce sounds, the quality of such sounds, or stamps. This must to that it is the instrument that is based on the sound (that is to say, that is constructed to obtain it), and not vice versa.
Stringed instrument that is made up of a Wood box, to means of I make oval narrowed by means, with a circular hole in the center of the cover and a mast with fret. Six plugs placed in the end of this mast serve to temper other so many cords assured in a fixed bridge in the inferior part of the cover, that are pressed with the right fingers, while they step on those of the left. On the mast there are fillets of metal or bone, denominated frets, to shorten at every moment the length of prudent him and for obtaining therefore the wished sound.
Flute is one of the instruments oldest wind musical comedies. It is a tube opened with circular holes, that produce different notes from the covered being or opened while it passes the air column emitted by the instrumentalist one. Flute cross-sectional or transverse, with lateral mouth, is used today in the symphony orchestras and has prevailed, after several transformations, over flute of tip or right.

The family of the violin, whose first unit was the present viola, distinguished itself immediately with the viola name gives braccio, to be used placed in clavicle and the chin, in opposition to the violas gives prawn, that leaned on the knee. One distinguishes by the form but thin of his contours, the curves more accentuated, the curved cover and the bottom, the bridge where the cords lean but high, the heavy cords but and with greater voltage and the end of the curved handle but. Their external appearances, would not have greater importance if not outside by the great difference of loudness, but powerful and shining, and, mainly by the different technique that involves the reduction of the number of cords to four.
The violin located during century XVII in a privileged place of the musical world thanks to a series of great you interpret.
